Fairey’s latest mural now graces the side of the Center for Visual Art’s building at 965 Santa Fe Drive. The art building is the off-campus gallery of the Metropolitan State College of Denver, situated comfortably in the Santa Fe Arts District, and Fairey’s mural features two classic cars, one on fire, under the words, “Bright Future.”

The cars’ license plates, “Empire” and “Nowhere,” are separated by a logo that is familiar to fans of Fairey’s graphics-intensive pop art — the eyes of deceased WWF wrestler Andre the Giant peering out from an iconic star.

Denver author Peter Heller will appear at The Tattered Cover in LoDo on Tuesday to promote his new novel, "The Dog Stars."

You really can’t write about Peter Heller’s debut novel in terms of a local-boy-makes-good story.

At 53, Heller has already established his chops as a writer for such magazines as Outside and Men’s Journal.

He also has a long list of non-fiction books under his belt, including “Hell or High Water: Surviving Tibet’s Tsangpo River” and “The Whale Warriors: The Battle at the Bottom of the World to Save the World’s Largest Mammals.”

Still, “The Dog Stars” IS the Denver resident’s fiction debut, which makes his Tuesday book signing at The Tattered Cover in LoDo a bit of a big deal, both for us and him.
